Fun and
adventure around Sattal
Sattal
Location: (Latitude 29° 26' N and longitude 79°
28' E; altitude 1350 m)
Saat Tal is a group of seven natural lakes. Of these five are
perennial - Ram Tal, Sita Tal, Lakshman Tal, Hanuman Tal and Garur Tal; two
are seasonal - Sookha Tal and Biyun Tal. The perennial lakes are named after
the main characters in India's best known epic - the Ramayan. The placid
water of these lakes holds great charm. The lakes lie in the basin of the
surrounding hills. The presence of reserve forests, consisting of dense
mixed jungle, in the vicinity of these natural waters greatly add to the
charm. There are a few villages in the area. A few old bungalows and a
Church from the British era still stand. Special visual effects of these
lakes can be captured under varying weather conditions - in the rain, fog,
mist and cloud.
